Hi Lora:

I wonder how

important it would be for me to get the RT3 done? Isn’t that test

for people with auto-immune Thyroiditis?

Bonnie,

My Endocrinologist would not take a reverse T3 test either, so I broke down

and paid to have the test taken myself. My rT3 was off the charts but all my

other numbers were " normal " although I was reading in one of my

articles

that it is the ratio that counts. On Stop the thyroid madness website they

have a ratio calculator for your Ft3 to rT3 ratio. I also found some other

information on it at www.thyroid-rt3.com/whatare1.htm

and

http://tiredthyroid.com/rt3.html

These both helped me understand why after

my doctor raises my meds I start feeling ok in 6 weeks, then 6 weeks later I

start crashing again. Problem is there are several causes of rT3, liver,

adrenal, enzymes, etc, and the treatment needs to be based on the cause,

which isn't easy to figure out.

Hello:

I don't have too many and I couldn't get the Reverse T3, they never heard of

it in this part of Canada.

I started Lugol's 5% in July and by the end of September 2011, I was at 50

mg. Just to give you an idea. You will see things CHANGE once I got on the

Iodine. And maybe normals are different in this country so I've included

them. Also I think the Iodine has affected my kidneys.
